URBAN PLANTER BOXES

Yes, you can absolutely use urban planter boxes to grow herbs indoors near a window! This is a fantastic way to have fresh, flavorful herbs at your fingertips year-round. To ensure your indoor herb garden thrives, place your planter box in a south or west-facing window that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. If natural light is limited, you can supplement with a grow light. Choose a planter box with proper drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil, which can cause root rot. Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for herbs or vegetables. When planting, select a variety of herbs that suit your culinary needs and growing conditions. Some of the best herbs for indoor gardening include basil, parsley, chives, mint, oregano, and thyme. Water your herbs when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, being careful not to overwater. You can also mist the leaves occasionally to increase humidity, especially in dry indoor environments. Harvest your herbs regularly by pinching off leaves from the top, which encourages bushier growth. With the right setup and care, your urban planter box will provide a continuous supply of fresh herbs for your kitchen.
